Better yet buy a UPS (uninterruptible power supply, aka battery backup).
This will smooth out the supply and also let TiVo keep running (for a finite
amount of time) when the power goes out briefly.
There may even be a hack that allows the UPS to tell TiVo to shut down
gracefully, like they can do for "regular" PCs.

Get a good power strip and put on it, if you havent' already. Something that
advertises both surge supression and RFI filtering.
